After hearing this, the man immediately nodded and agreed, "So you two are husband and wife. I understand. Then we brothers and sisters can squeeze in. It's no big deal. We farmers don't care much about it anyway."
"Then it's settled."
Not long after, Lin Qi and another guard came in carrying things.
Seeing that both of them were carrying large and small bags, the man immediately stepped forward and offered to help.
Lin Qi handed over two bags of coal. "These are the carbon I promised you."
"Lin Qi, go out and bring in another bag of coal. I just promised to give them one more bag."
Lin Qi didn't ask any more questions. He just agreed and turned to walk out.
Another guard walked up to Li Junyan and Sang Jueqian, put all the things in his hands on the ground, and took off the bags on his backs.
Soon, a gas stove was placed on the ground and the pot was placed on it.
I poured water from the bottle and started cooking dinner.
The man watched all this in amazement.
Not only was the man stunned, but everyone else also looked over curiously.
They had never seen these things before.
The man was the first to react and blinked, "These things are so magical, we have never seen them before..."
Li Junyan smiled slightly, "These things are not sold outside, so it's normal that you haven't seen them."
The man smiled again. "I just told you, we're cooking. You can eat with us. After all, we charged you so much money. Why are you cooking for yourselves? Look, my pork rib soup is almost done, and there are steamed buns in the pot. It's definitely enough for so many of us."
"That's not necessary." Li Junyan's voice was so gentle, but he refused very decisively, "We are not used to eating outside food, so even when we go out, we cook for ourselves."
"So that's how it is. Well... then forget it."
The man said, looking at the others calmly.
Others looked over frequently, but no one approached, and no one took the initiative to speak. They all seemed a little shy.
But they kept looking over here, their eyes filled with inquiry and scrutiny, with an inexplicable gleam in their eyes. They didn't look like shy people at all.
Sang Jueqian and the other three finished their dinner quickly, cleaned up the pots and pans, and put them all back.
Everything was cleaned so neatly that the people were stunned.
But don't come to delay your meal.
While they were eating, they also chatted.
They talked about some family matters or complained about the heavy snow outside.
There doesn't seem to be any problem.
It was not until the night grew deeper and they had finished their meal and cleaned up that everyone prepared to go to bed.
Sang Jueqian and the other three got on the kang. The fire in the room had been put out, but the fire in the bathhouse was not completely extinguished.
The temperature is really too low now. If you don’t keep the kang heated, you can easily freeze to death while sleeping at night.
So not only will the fire in the stove not go out, you even have to add more firewood when you wake up in the middle of the night.
However, the man said that they were already familiar with these things and would add firewood in the evening, so Sang Jueqian and the others didn't need to worry and just rest peacefully.
After Sang Jueqian and the others thanked him repeatedly, they lay down on the kang and went to sleep.
Time passed little by little, nothing happened in the house, and everyone seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
It was not until after midnight that smoke suddenly filled the house.
The smoke had an indescribable smell, which lasted for a while and then disappeared.
Another quarter of an hour later, all nine people on the kang turned over and sat up, and the oil lamps in the room began to light up.
"Brother, are they all fainted? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"What's so good about it? Don't you know what the effects of our own medicine are?"
"Isn't it because they are from extraordinary backgrounds that we are afraid of any accidents? But what Big Brother said is right. When have we ever failed?"
Another woman looked toward the window, as if trying to get a clearer view of what was happening outside. "What kind of car are those people driving? I've never seen it before."
"Just now when I went to the bathroom, I secretly leaned over to take a look. Wow, guess what I found?"
The man called Big Brother, the one who opened the door for Sang Jueqian and the others, glared coldly at the person who spoke, "What did you find out? Why don't you just tell us now? Why are you keeping us in suspense?"
"Hey, big brother, don't be angry. I'll tell you right now. Although I don't know what kind of car that is, I can tell you that most of the car body is made of iron. It makes a loud bang when you knock it. There's no doubt about it. What's more, there is transparent glass on it, and even a mirror. If you remove the mirror alone and sell it in the capital, you can get dozens of taels of silver."
The eldest brother gave him a cold look. "To call you stupid is to say you're not smart. With your limited vision, any good thing would be useless in your hands. You only think that the mirror is worth a few dozen taels, and you don't think about how such a huge thing can be driven here in such snowy weather. And, when the light is on, it's brighter than daytime. If we learn how to use it, we can go anywhere we want in this icy and snowy world. How much money can we make if we sell it? It will be more useful if we keep it."
After hearing this, the others looked at the eldest brother with admiration.
"Brother is still thinking long-term."
"Big brother is still smart."
